Here’s the framed version of my oil painting of Jalama Beach “Golden Hour”

Beach scene of water coming ashore with sand in the foreground and cliffs in the background. At sunset when the sky is golden, the mountains are brownish gold, and the water is purple and turquoise. Framed in a black frame with a gold liner.

"Golden Hour" (6"x 8" oil on canvas board) was painted from that moment on Jalama Beach, above Santa Barbara, when everything is bathed in beautiful golden light. This painting was sold to a pilot, who said it reminded him of sights he would see while flying. #landscapepainting

I came across these deer while hiking in Aliso & Wood Canyons last year. This was one of the 6 landscape oil paintings I sold last weekend at the Back Bay Show in Newport Beach, California. Feeling very fortunate to have made some sales!

Framed landscape oil painting of two deer in the shade in a meadow. One is lying down all you see is his head peeking up above the grass. The other is standing at his side. Behind them is a hill of shrubbery, painted in greens and dusty purples. To the left is a darker tree in the forehead that is cropped by the left side of the frame.

I was teaching a workshop at the Printing Museum at the time, and her explanation of the drawing prompted me to make this woodtype poster. So if you are a bald man with tiny glasses that was walking around LA yesterday, you may have inspired two pieces of art 🤣 #letterpress

Poster printed from Wood type that says “His head was so shiny I had to draw him” Text is printed in dark blue. The word shiny is in fluorescent pink. There is an ornament above and below the text, which is centered.

Got this rather cryptic text from my daughter @uncommonsage.bsky.social who was out sketching yesterday.

Sketchbook page with colored ink drawings of a man with tiny glasses and bald head above a drink and a croissant. Stars drawn all around. Small handwritten text on the page says “stranger on the way home…” “coffee and a croissant I didn’t buy…”

Posting a tranquil moment, this photo I took in Long Beach CA for #birdoftheday #silhouettesandshadows Happy spring everyone!

My big brother had a “BIG” birthday this week, so I designed, carved and printed this card for him. 😅🎉 (type was laser cut) Happy birthday Bro #linocut #letterpress #birthday

Birthday card featuring a smiling cactus that says “Happy Birthday Prick” above it

Wendy Emery@pupandpony· Dec 24

Close-up of a platin press with a laser cut wood block of squirrels and an acorn with the word “nuts” above it and handset type below it that says “Christmas” in the foreground is the card that was printed from this image.

Wendy Emery@pupandpony· Dec 24

I would like to get my cards printed earlier than the weekend before Christmas, but it never happens. This is laser cut instead of linocut because of the registration involved (it’s two colors) I will hand deliver them to the neighbors today. Happy holidays everyone! #letterpress

A stack of Christmas cards printed in red and green showing two squirrels with a large acorn between them. It reads Go nuts. It’s Christmas. The red and green together make the brown for the squirrels and the nut.

The day after thanksgiving I went up to paint in the Sierras, outside of Bishop, CA. A view of Mt.Tom always feels like home ❤️ #pleinair #oilpainting #LandscapePainting

A view of mount Tom in the distance, with the Buttermilk hills to the right, and sagebrush and a road in the foreground. An oil painting of the scene is in the lower right.

Attended a plein air event yesterday with SOCALpapa at Shipley Nature Center in Huntington Beach. I am thrilled that sold both a studio painting, and the plein air painted there. Below is the studio painting I sold at the event. wendyemery.com #oilpainting #pleinair #originalart #landscapeart

A week ago I did another plein air oil painting session at Aliso Beach in Laguna, and brought @uncommonsage.bsky.social along. That was her first time landscape painting there, my second. Perfect fall beach weather! (1 of 3)

The uncolored linoleum print. #linocut #printsky

Black and white print of a bungalow with a rocking chair and a swing on the porch, and a garden in front.

Wendy Emery@pupandpony· Oct 29

I made a linocut of my neighbor’s house, for his 70th birthday gift. I then water colored the print, and my husband made an oak frame for it. He liked it so much he may have cried a bit 🥹 good neighbors are everything 🏡 #linocut #watercolor #printmaking

Linoleum print that has had color added of a California bungalow with trees and a garden in front

Not quite the same, but we inherited my father in laws indoor cat, and we have a dog. They got along fine.

May I present: Majestic Bird. #morningwalk #seabirds #heron

A black heron spreads its wings and looks to the sky while perched atop a red float ball. Its reflection and that of the ball is mirrored in the water below it. Reflections of buildings are seen above the bird.

Great morning plein air painting at Aliso Beach in Laguna. Great weather for a paint out! #socalpapa #oilpainting #pleinair #seascape #laguna #beachpainting #socal_papa

Very quick plein air oil painting today. Apparently there was going to be a race, so they made @uncommonsage.bsky.social and I leave after about an hour. But fun was had!

You ever sell a painting at a venue and forget to take it off another platform and then sell it again? #oilpainting oops

An in process shot of the plein air painting above.

Painting on easel outdoors with scene of trees, grass, and path being painted both on the canvas and in the background.

Wendy Emery@pupandpony· Jul 10

I finished up this plein air oil painting I started last week. My daughter and I try to go outdoors to paint every Wednesday. We both loved this scene and the raking light across the path. 🎨

Oil painting of trees and grass. Grass is lower on the left and higher on the right. A concrete path curves through the middle. Light is raking across the scene casting shadows across the path.

Here is the whole calendar page

Letterpress wood type printed calendar for July. Printed in red and blue, with a red crab with signage under that reads “little crabby”

Wendy Emery@pupandpony· Jul 7

When I chose this crab linocut for this months calendar, I didn’t realize I was settling the whole damn mood.

Two watercolor paintings from my camping trip at Jalama Beach, CA last week. When I go camping I do a plein air painting every morning while DH makes breakfast. It gives me a nice travel diary of our trips, and painting really fixes the scene in your mind. 🎨 #dailypainting #pleinair
